This was hilarious but man, is it loathsome that the Internet now censors the words porn and piss simply because China needs to reach every young American with their bullshit malware.
Please tell me at least some parts of your comment are sarcasm?
Otoh, my family has procreated for billions of years, I’m the last of my line, I have no children, and can’t imagine raising them with all the ₽ɪ$ʂ out there. Idfk.
imho Chinese platforms censor their words too much. you might not have seen it, but the users self censor words like death, suicide, sex, and stuff like that.
Annoyingly self reported chinease users I used to talk to would go dark after mention a certain square, tanks, and massacre. Since the push for misinformation instead of censorship its been less common but it also just seems like there are less people from China in my internet social circles now too. :/
This user is just obsessed with conspiracy theories. They deleted a bunch of comments about how the flat earth is fact. Something to do with ufo trajectories.
They’ve been harassing me since I called them out for repeatedly lying. They are now blocked. I prefer not to block people but this dick left me no choice. They messaged me like 12 times this morning and I think I only responded twice, to basically tell them to stop.
There’s a lesson here for lurkers looking at this conversation :-) Block people all you want. You don’t need a good reason. There’s no Socratic Method Fairy who’s gonna get mad at you for refusing to engage with bad faith arguments, lying, or abuse. Just click on the username, the block button is near the top and pretty big.
China has to do with malware. However you want to define it. NSA has plugs everywhere, so does China.
Censoring has to do with reach and realities of parasite media. Targeting young demo keeps platforms first growing then afloat(see kik still being around shoveling “teenager demo” while being a csm hell hole).
I’m not sure it’s hateful mocking, really. Also, any JS-related framework could do in place of Angular maybe (but as one not familiar with Angular I can’t say if its design is not so atrocious that everyone hates it for this)
Young people are hilariously messed-up. It’s like my generation decided we were finally going to challenge all the old taboos, and then the next generation demolished all the old gender assumptions, except now we have to be super judgmental about what everyone else is into.
What part of the younger generations are being judgmental about what people are into in their private lives? As long as it isn’t hurting anyone (without enthusiastic and sapient consent), I don’t see an issue.
I’m in a position to call him a groomer. I feel comfortable saying straight up he’s a sex pest. There’s credible allegations all over the place. What I can’t speak to, and I have to implore you to look into, is that many black people in America consider him a cultural appropriator based on his adoption of vernacular and accent that aren’t his own.
I've been trying to stay away from social media, and I've been very much OOTL. But I've researched about this meanwhile, and holy shit, this was not in my bingo card.
Actress Millie Bobby Brown, aka Eleven from Stranger Things, revealed when she was still a minor that Drake and her used to text each other. Particularly concerning advice about Drake’s similar experience being a child actor.
In 2018, Drake reportedly dated, then 18 year old model, Bella Harris. However there are posts of them in intimate positions as old as 2016, where she would’ve been 16 years old.
I’ve had about 1000+ tabs open before, but I’ve gotten better at keeping them under control. It’s very normal for me to hit a couple hundred, once in a while, though, before I go through them all and weed out the ones I’m done with. Right now I only have 24, but 19 of them are my pinned tabs that are used all the time.
Any company that hides their documentation has an awful product that they are actually embarrassed about, from a tech perspective. They are hiding it because they are afraid to show it.
I’ve seen this so many times, and it’s a big red flag.
These companies work on the basis of selling their product the old-fashioned way, directly to management with sales-people and business presentations and firm handshakes, and then once you’re sold then developers (which management doesn’t care about by the way) have to do the odious task of getting everything working against their terrible and illogical API. And when you need help implementing, then your single point of contact is one grumpy-ass old dev working in a basement somewhere (because they don’t care about their own devs either) and he’s terribly overstretched due to the number of other customers he’s also trying to help, because their implementation is so shitty.
Conversely, public documentation is a great sign that companies took a developer-led approach to designing their solution, that it will be easy to implement, that they respect the devs within their own company, and they will also respect yours.
When I am asked to evaluate potential solutions for a problem, Public docs is like the number one thing I care about! It’s just that significant.
Side story - I once worked with one of these shitty vendors, and learned from a tech guy I’d made friends with that the whole company was basically out of office on a company-paid beach holiday - EXCEPT for the dev team. Management, sales, marketing, finance, they all got a company trip, but the tech peeps had to stay at home. Tells you everything you need to know about their management attitude towards tech.
Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.
We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we’re doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an “expert” to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn’t an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.
Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.
Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn’t do what we were trying.
Haha yep. Not the support process you want. Glad you managed to let them eat some humble pie at least.
The support process you want is this: “We’ll make you a channel on our Slack, if you’ve got any issues you can talk with our devs direct!” - yes please!
Fun story! At a conference, I asked this vendor (the company collapsed now) if I can see their documentation. The obvious sales person made a big stink how it’s only for paid customers and I can see it when I paid.
I told him how stupid it was since his competitors have their docs open.
During a conference’s event where they parade their sponsors, the vendor got on stage and called me out with “And paid customers will have a wealth of support, like developer documentation… Especially for you [name]”.
In my nerd rage, I shouted from the audience “What kind of shit software is afraid to share their developer docs publicly?” I was escorted out by security.
And during the night event when everyone mingles (including sponsors), the guy didn’t show up. And apparently, news got around where by the last day of the event, the entire booth was taken down.
I dunno if it was me shouting and everyone agreeing with me, or the conference realizing that attacking a paid member of the audience wasn’t a good idea and told him to leave.
Either way… Tell it to their faces when their product isn’t dev friendly. These charlatans seem to get bolder and bolder with their garbage.
The sense of loss when you can’t get them back for some reason. I swear I’ve had my career set back by losing my tabs. It’s basically my working memory.
